I have a macbook pro with retina display which I am using with two apple 27" monitors. I use a logitech K811 bluetooth keyboard while the macbook is closed. I would like to be able to boot from the keyboard directly. Does anyone know how to do this? I believe I saw instructions somewhere but cannot find them.

Hey there paulh20016,
It sounds like you are needing to set your Mac to let bluetooth devices wake it from sleep. You can do this in your System Preferences:
OS X Mavericks: Wake your computer with a wireless mouse or keyboard
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
- Click Advanced.
- Select the “Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer” checkbox.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Thanks Sterling. This helps me wake my MacBook Pro from sleep. It does not seem to allow me to restart from the bluetooth keyboard when it is shutdown. Is there a way to do this
Thanks
